Application of a Numerical Method and Optimal Control Theory to a Partial Differential Equation Model for a Bacterial Infection in a Chronic Wound

In this work, we study the application both of optimal control techniques and a numerical method to a system of partial differential equations arising from a problem in wound healing. Optimal control theory is a generalization of calculus of variations, as well as the method of Lagrange Multipliers....
